North Carolinas African Americans Say NO To Hillary

Lowest African American early turnout for a democrat since 1960. So low in fact that CNN and MSNBC are blaming the GOP for voter suppression even
though there are more voting stations than have ever been and longer hours than have ever been. They just don't seem to get it. Um hello, HILLARY AINT
BLACK, nice try attempting to fool the African Americans in this country though, Im surprised she didn't dye herself brown. I think its offensive to
black folks to have someone acts like she does and just expects their votes because she calls her opponent a racist 17 times a day.

Just to add, CNN lady was in NC yesterday and was asking people in line how they felt about the long lines. She picked a nicely dressed African
American guy and she asked him why he would stand in long for so long, he said " with all this talk about dead people voting I thought it would be a
good idea and for some reason those dead people are voting DEMOCRAT" lol, she was so pissed,,,

Not really. AA voters are, for the most part, still pushing the button for Clinton. They're just not voting early in the same numbers as they did for
Obama. Neither are first time voters, yet they're also still voting for Clinton more than they are Trump.

The state level NAACP is the one blaming the GOP for voter suppression. CNN is simply reporting that fact, as is local news. Local news is not blaming
the GOP, but they're not ignoring the fact that the NAACP does blame the GOP.

Exit polls and predictions are showing that blacks are voting for Hillary to the tune of over 90%, so no. Blacks are not saying no to Hillary. Blacks
just haven't voted for her to the same level they voted for Obama.

The thread title, and OP, are attempting to make it sound like black voters are abandoning her in droves when the reality is that they aren't.

Simple concept.

you're right.....but that logic doesn't mean a thing to the alt-right on ATS.....

Simple concept.

90% of small is not the same as 90% of large.

Basic concept.

Clinton is underperforming when compared to Obama, who didn't carry the state to begin with in 2012. Trump is outperforming Romney in 2012.

Which says what, exactly, about how black voters feel about Clinton? Not much, beyond that it says democrats are so far turning out in fewer numbers
than they did in 2012.

But yes, spinning that in to "black voters abandoning Clinton" is a simple concept for small minds to grasp, I'll grant you that. Glad you can admit
that.

I really don't give a damn about right or left, here or elsewhere. I just find the confirmation bias and grandstanding and selective interpretation of
facts and data to be entertaining and easily called out.

The confirmation bias is strong, though, so I imagine only a handful will get a chuckle out of it.

As a working class, middle aged black male, it's crystal clear that if Clinton wins without a large black turnout in her favor, the DNC is going to
outright abandon the black voting bloc and any future DNC pandering will instead be aimed at the growing hispanic demographic. Bet on that----(and
pray for them.)

Will just point out that Clinton carried 88% of black voters. Compared to Obama's 93%. That's nationwide. In North Carolina specifically, blacks voted
for Clinton right at 80%. A whopping 8% less than they voted for Obama.
